Brown Sugar Cookies With Maple Drizzle

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, beat the butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add ¼ cup syrup and beat until incorporated, then beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Add the flour mixture and fold gently until no traces of flour remain.

Using a 1 ¼-inch cookie scoop or measuring tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake 1 sheet at a time until dark golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool completely on the sheets on wire racks.

Stir the powdered sugar, remaining tablespoon syrup, 1 tablespoon water and a tiny pinch of salt in a small bowl. Taste and add more salt if you’d like. Drizzle all over the cooled cookies. Let stand until the drizzle hardens.
